2005 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"Would buy another one if gas prices stay below $3/gal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the vehicle.
General comments?
I bought this car with 33,000 miles for $13,000. It is a great vehicle for the money. It goes through the snow well, and feels safe and comfortable to drive. We get about 21.5 mpg on the highway.
I enjoy the visibility from the driver's seat. The seats are comfortable on long trips. The second row seats quickly fold down to open up a large area for hauling things.
I'm very happy with our purchase.
